What is the difference between a simple 3-axis and a high-end 5-axis machine for simultaneous machining? Exactly: the milling head.

This heart of modern milling technology has earned special attention. The performance capability, the possible materials, the metal removal rates and the surface finish quality of every machining operation depend on the choice of the right milling head. But also factors such as possible milling strategies, simultaneous machining and work piece dimensions are linked directly with the choice of milling head.

All these criteria must naturally be weighed against the investment costs and the long-term cost effectiveness.

An exciting subject, to which Zimmermann has devoted a great deal of energy. Since only an efficient, reliable heart can realize the true value of a milling machine.
